Hello everyone, I am a complete newbie here and to genealogy. My name is Lisa Sterzer but my maiden name was Caines From Deer Lake Newfoundland. I actually started to get interested in all of this when my daughters class had to do a project on a relative that immigrated into Canada! We decided to use my Grandmother Renee Caines (Campbell) who immigrated in 1949 when Newfoundland became a part of Canada. I am looking to speck with anyone who has any info on these families, Harvey Caines and Renee Caines maiden name Campbell both from Deer Lake. Or even Any tips on how to get started without spending a fortune on those sites! lol
